I'm using a utility called REBOOTER that does a forced power down, it's
great.

I've set up two shortcuts to it, so:-
Ctrl+Alt+F4 = forced power down
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F4 = forced power down and immediate re-boot

So you can set up the on/off button to do something else, but still do the
forced power down thing if things start to go pear-shaped.

I use it all the time - it's just so much quicker and more convenient than
going start, shut down, OK yes I'm sure...
